Day 31!I made it through a whole month with no relapses.That must be a first for me. I am hopeless at following things through to the end!Not that this is the end, of course, but at least I'm still going.I had a very busy day scrapping today,so my photo of the day is a photo of a work in progress-image transfers!

On my way to work I took this snap from the car window.I like the contrasting architectural styles-the Scottish parliament building on the left,and an old traditional building on the right.I have to say I really don't like the Parliament building.It is not aging well either!

Emily and Jack went to the school ceildh tonight.Jack was off with friends before I got home from work, so no photos of him in his kilt!but lots of Emily in her first 'dress up'.She was beside herself with excitement.I curled her hair at her request.She hated it!I was the enemy!Then the curl dropped-as I told her it would- and she relaxed a bit.She was happy by the time her friends came around.This was my favourite of the photos:

Finally today we saw a bit of sun.Very often in Edinburgh the sky is a great big flat grey nothingness,but today, with a bit of sun, a touch of blue sky and a streak of clouds,we had this very pretty sky at 8:30 this morning;and I was able to take this photo from the Hermitage allotments looking south.

I went to the Edinburgh crop today in it's new home.It's a church hall, and this meant being able to go into the empty churchand taking these photos.I chose the photo of the day just because I like the way the light falls on the wall next to the window.

Here are some other photos of the windows:

And lastly, there is a cemetry next to the church where I took this little cherub!

Another day of taking photos as I was stationary at traffic lights. The photo of the day is a zoom view, so the Scottish Poetry Library building on the left is not well focused. It is not the best photo-but I think the juxtaposition of the modern and tradional architecture, interesting.

Further down the road, at the next set of lights, I just aimed the camera up blindly and got these three views of the Poetry Library.Then at another set of lights I took these 3 photos of the same house. these dormer windows in the roof are typically Scottish traditional style.
